Screw press for insect protein extraction

Address the rising protein demand with our screw press, designed to efficiently extract insect protein, providing a sustainable alternative for animal feed production while solving environmental challenges associated with traditional protein sources.

Mechanically Degreases Insect Larvae for Protein Production

The Reinartz Screw Press TP Series offers a robust solution for the degreasing of insect larvae, crucial in sustainable protein production. This series features a range of models, from TP 04 to TP 90, each designed to expel fat from dried black soldier fly larvae using a mechanical pressing system. The process effectively separates and collects fat content in an integrated collection tank, ensuring optimal degreasing for the production of high-protein insect meal.

Ideal for applications in animal feed, pet food, and aquaculture feed industries, the TP Series enables the production of insect protein powder and protein-rich aquaculture pellets. The equipment operates continuously, with varying connected loads across models to suit production scales and requirements.

Reinartz’s design ensures seamless integration into existing production lines, supporting environmentally friendly production methods and reducing reliance on conventional protein sources like fishmeal. With models offering different dimensions and capacities, manufacturers can select the appropriate press to match their throughput needs, all while benefiting from reduced operational energy consumption facilitated by efficient mechanical design. The equipment’s construction in durable materials ensures dependability and longevity, even under rigorous operating conditions.
